What it does
Camellia oil delivers the benefits of Retinol, Alpha
Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and other chemical acid based anti-aging products,
but without their irritating side effects and sun sensitivity problems.
It works wonders on your skin in the following ways:
Moisturize - it penetrates quickly and deeply, giving your skin
optimum hydration without a greasy feel. Your skin will feel remarkably
refreshed, smooth and firm.
Replenish - it dramatically revives skin clarity and improves skin
resilience, giving your skin a supple and radiant glow you can see and
feel. It endows your skin with a luminous silkiness that no other
product can match today.
Restore - it eliminates or visibly diminishes fine lines and small wrinkles and reduces the appearance of pores.
Protect - it contains Vitamin A and E, a natural antioxidant,
safeguarding your skin from the damaging effects of UV/environmental
exposure and free radicals.
It offers similar benefits for hair. It stimulates hair growth and
slows the graying of hair. It adds shine, softness and smoothness to
your hair.
It prevents stretch marks such as those acquired during pregnancy. It helps diminish or completely eliminate stretch marks.
Why it works
It is the most penetrative oil. It is composed mainly of Oleic acid
(almost 82%), a mono-unsaturated fatty acid and other essential fatty
acids such as Linoleic acid. Its Oleic acid composition is the highest
among all natural oils. Studies of Oleic and other fatty acids have
proven that they are an excellent emollient, and a remarkable natural
agent for the retention and enhancement of skin moisture. A lack of
lipid or fatty substances will impair the skin's ability to retain
moisture. These substances in human skin decline as we age and this is
a key factor in drier skin as we mature.
Studies have demonstrated that Oleic acid has unparalleled
penetration power, capable of permeating deeply into the lower layers
of the stratum corneum to greatly enhance the beneficial effects of
collagen and elastin, i.e. rejuvenating cell growth to give skin
support and flexibility.
Oleic acid is known as an excellent
transdermal carrier of cell rebuilding nutrients and bioactive
compounds (collagen and elastin) into the skin to repair the damage
caused by dryness, sun exposure and other factors. The result is
restoration of the skin's elasticity, significant improvement in skin
texture as well as elimination or remarkable reduction of fine lines
and small wrinkles.
In the same token, camellia oil's penetrative capability into skin
tissue cells stimulates the growth of hair follicles, promotes healthy
hair growth and in some cases restores hair loss.
It is compatible with your skin. The human skin is a natural
filtering system that best accepts skincare products with natural
ingredients - ingredients similar to those formed by the body itself.
Your skin will not reject these substances, therefore boosting its
ability to utilize them and hence replenish itself.
Oleic acid is the
main fatty acid in human skin lipids (ingredients found in skin
including fatty acids and fats). It is the main fatty acid produced by
the human sebaceous or oil glands. This means that the composition of
camellia oil is very similar to that of the fatty acids of human skin.
As a result, camellia oil can be easily and effectively absorbed into
the skin to work in synergy with the skin's own natural system to
nourish cell membranes, replenish skin lipids, accelerate skin
rejuvenation and stimulate hair growth. Camellia oil's natural
ingredients are able to restore and revitalize skin and hair from the
inside out.
Completely safe and gentle, it
can be used for all skin types. You can use it every day and night,
even around the eyes.
It does not contain any artificial fragrances, colorings, solvent
residues, detergents and detergent-like chemicals which may degrade the
skin's ---natural protective function in the long run. It is not tested
on animals.
